Story Transcript:

Sl: Žiga je hodil po zasneženi poti v parku Tivoli.
En: Žiga walked along the snowy path in Tivoli park.

Sl: Njegovo srce je bilo nemirno, kot da bi poslušalo svoj poseben ritem.
En: His heart was restless, as if it was listening to its own unique rhythm.

Sl: Zunaj je bil zimski solsticij, čas, ko je Ljubljana zasijala v posebni svetlobi.
En: Outside, it was the winter solstice, a time when Ljubljana shone in a special light.

Sl: Lučke so visele z dreves in ustvarjale pravljično vzdušje.
En: Lights hung from the trees creating a magical atmosphere.

Sl: Žiga je nosil elegantno plašč, ki je skrival njegovo negotovost.
En: Žiga wore an elegant coat that hid his uncertainty.

Sl: Imel je dogovorjeno srečanje.
En: He had an appointment.

Sl: Moral je imeti prvi zmenek z Nino.
En: He was supposed to have his first date with Nina.

Sl: Nina je stala ob robu poti in dihala mrzel zrak.
En: Nina stood at the edge of the path, breathing in the cold air.

Sl: Oboževala je zimo in hladne dni.
En: She loved winter and cold days.

Sl: Bila je skeptična glede ljubezni zaradi preteklih izkušenj.
En: She was skeptical about love because of past experiences.

Sl: Kljub temu se je odločila dati Žigi priložnost.
En: Despite this, she decided to give Žiga a chance.

Sl: "Živjo, Nina," je rekel Žiga sramežljivo.
En: "Hello, Nina," said Žiga shyly.

Sl: Njena samozavest ga je presenetila, vendar se je trudil biti prijazen.
En: Her confidence surprised him, but he tried to be friendly.

Sl: "Živjo, Žiga," je odgovorila Nina z nasmehom.
En: "Hello, Žiga," replied Nina with a smile.

Sl: Njena lica so bila rdeča od mrzlega zraka.
En: Her cheeks were red from the cold air.

Sl: Pogledala je okrog in rekla: "Krasen park, kajne?
En: She looked around and said, "Beautiful park, isn't it?"

Sl: ""Ja, res je čudovit.
En: "Yes, it's really wonderful.

Sl: Posebej zdaj, v tem času," je rekel Žiga in začel drugačno temo: "Kako preživljaš ta zimski čas?
En: Especially now, at this time," said Žiga and switched to a different topic: "How are you spending this winter time?"

Sl: "Preden sta uspela nadaljevati pogovor, pa se je iznenada pojavila Mateja.
En: Before they could continue the conversation, Mateja suddenly appeared.

Sl: Imela je rdečo kapo, ki je izstopala na belem ozadju.
En: She had a red hat that stood out against the white background.

Sl: "Nina!
En: "Nina!"

Sl: " je vzkliknila Mateja navdušeno, vse prej kot zavedajoča se situacije.
En: Mateja exclaimed excitedly, completely unaware of the situation.

Sl: "Kakšno lepo presenečenje!
En: "What a lovely surprise!"

Sl: "Nina je bila zmedena.
En: Nina was confused.

Sl: Mateja ni bila del plana.
En: Mateja wasn't part of the plan.

Sl: Žiga je postal še bolj nervozen.
En: Žiga became even more nervous.

Sl: "Zdravo, Mateja," je komaj izrekel.
En: "Hello, Mateja," he barely managed to say.

Sl: "Mislila sem, da se bova videli kasneje," je rekla Nina nekoliko zadržano.
En: "I thought we'd see each other later," said Nina somewhat reservedly.

Sl: Mateja se je hitro opravičila, saj ni vedela za Ninin zmenek.
En: Mateja quickly apologized, as she was unaware of Nina's date.

Sl: Žiga je takoj zbral pogum in odločil biti direkten.
En: Žiga immediately gathered courage and decided to be direct.

Sl: "Nina, želel sem preživeti čas zatebi.
En: "Nina, I wanted to spend time with you.

Sl: Morda Mateja ni pričakovala, ampak ne želim, da to uniči našo priložnost.
En: Maybe Mateja didn't expect this, but I don't want it to ruin our opportunity."

Sl: "Nina je pogledala Žigo.
En: Nina looked at Žiga.

Sl: Njegove oči so bile iskrene.
En: His eyes were sincere.

Sl: "Resno si to misliš?
En: "Do you really mean that?"

Sl: " je vprašala z dvomljivim tonom.
En: she asked with a doubtful tone.

Sl: Žiga je prikimal.
En: Žiga nodded.

Sl: "Želim biti pošten do tebe," je rekel.
En: "I want to be honest with you," he said.

Sl: "Ničesar ne skrbi, želim, da me spoznaš, tako kot sem.
En: "Don't worry about anything, I want you to know me, just as I am."

Sl: "Med njima se je zaslišal smeh, ki je v tiho zimsko pokrajino prinesel toplino.
En: Laughter echoed between them, bringing warmth to the silent winter landscape.

Sl: "Morda bi morali začeti znova z drugim zmenkom," je predlagala Nina.
En: "Maybe we should start over with a second date," suggested Nina.

Sl: Mateja, ki je še vedno stala poleg, se je nasmehnila in namignila, da bo šla.
En: Mateja, who was still standing nearby, smiled and hinted she would leave.

Sl: "Vidva uživajta v čudovitem Tivoliju," je rekla in pomahala.
En: "You two enjoy the beautiful Tivoli," she said and waved.

Sl: Žiga in Nina sta se nasmehnila eden drugemu.
En: Žiga and Nina smiled at each other.

Sl: Sprehodila sta se naprej med zasneženimi drevesi, pustila za sabo sledi njunih korakov.
En: They walked on through the snowy trees, leaving behind traces of their steps.

Sl: Oba sta vedela, da bo to začetek nečesa novega.
En: Both knew this would be the beginning of something new.

Sl: Žiga je bil sedaj bolj samozavesten, Nina pa odprta za nove možnosti.
En: Žiga was now more confident, and Nina open to new possibilities.

Sl: V večernih svetlobi so praznične luči dajale občutek, da je vse mogoče.
En: In the evening lights, the festive lights gave the feeling that anything was possible.

Sl: Spredaj je čakala pot novega prijateljstva, morda celo ljubezni.
En: Ahead lay the journey of a new friendship, perhaps even love.
